Card base with seven black and white photographs attached, labelled with pasted letters a,b,d,c,f,e,g. The number 335 is pasted in the lower left corner. "Asia Minor. F.W. Hasluck" is written in ink in the lower right corner. To the right of image a is a later annotation in pencil giving a bibliographic reference. Framed. The original description in the catalogue reads: "(a) Bridge over the Aisepos; three and a half miles from its mouth on the Sea of Marmara; not recorded before. The central piers have lost their arches, but the abutments are well preserved. b. Bridges of Justinian over the Sangarios: a great structure of nine arches: the roadway is absolutely horizontal. In 1908 the bridge was passable though the roadway was in bad repair. The semi-circular defensive spurs should face up-stream, but when photograph (b) was taken the current was creeping the other way. c. In the second photograph the bed is dry. d. City gate of Cyzicus, in the N. wall near the amphitheatre. The figure in the archway is F.W.H. e. Afium Kara Hissar, Vilayet of Brusa. The citadel is an abrupt mass of rock 400 feet high: many prints from this negative were given during the war to families whose officer relatives were imprisoned in the castle. f. Adalia. A walled mediaeval town on the Caramanian coast, garrisoned for twelve years by the Frank Kings of Cyprus. g. Blessing with nets at the beginning of the fishing season in the Marmara Islands. The Black objects held up are the nets: the pappas (priest) is in the centre: the boats have remarkably graceful lines." |
